    New to Blu? Buy a PS3: the most featured BD hardware available...

    I did my first on-line update the other night (I'd always downloaded from the internet onto a USB flash drive and upgraded from it). Took about the same amount of time regardless of which method employed.

    I installed the new firmware upgrade today. Will someone please tell me where the audio volume control is located on the menus? I've looked and looked and have yet to find it. I thought I read that one of the new features was 9 different levels of volume, but I can't find any switch in any...

    Got the update installed early this evening and tried out the first three chapters of X-MEN - THE LAST STAND on BD. Stupendous. When I get an evening free of reviewing demands, I will rewatch in its entirety LIVE FREE OR DIE HARD. I'm expecting to be blown away. The PS3 now fulfills...

    I agree with you, Ron. I haven't used any calibration discs to check anything or measure anything. I'm just dead-eyeing what I see, and I think the PS3 does an exceptional job with upscaling sDVDs.
